Helping Kids to Read

A bit about me, the person behind this page:

My name is Heather Rawlins. I am a Mum of 3 and Nanna to 5.

I am a retired Special Education and remedial Teacher who loves working with Mums, Dads and Grandparents to help their children work through the difficulties some children face when learning to read.

Many moons ago when my son was having difficulty learning to read, I went in search of answers for something to help, as Mums do. Not just as a Special Education Teacher, but being a Mum working each day supporting my children with their learning to read and now with some of my Grand Children who need some extra help, Ive been able to gather up all sorts of tips and tricks which I would love to share with you.

I have lots of practical tips, but also offer the Expressways to Reading Program. I have 2 Grandchildren who are having fantastic success with this program and have had some fantastic success with some of the local schools here in Queensland working with the children with this program.

I also specialise in the diagnosis of Dyslexia. www.aaic.org.au
